‘Dear Members, Colleagues and Friends,

Since the information was released last summer about my nomination as member of the High- Level Advisory Group to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, I have received so many messages from all of you. With this open answer I want to thank you collectively. This is indeed a very prominent recognition of the role that UIC can play in the promotion of rail and sustainable transport in modern societies at global level. I feel honoured by this nomination and honoured by your recognition. You can rest assured that on top of all the other activities and responsibilities that UIC is organising and facing for you, I will dedicate myself to represent the rail sector in the best way at the service of our community worldwide. Most cordially to all of you and see you very soon. ’
